Dear Group,
Compare two inputs:
In[1]:
MakeExpression[RowBox[List["a","\[CenterDot]","b","\[CenterDot]","c"]],StandardForm]
Out[1]:
Cell[BoxData[
RowBox[{"HoldComplete", "[",
RowBox[{"a", "\[CenterDot]", "b", "\[CenterDot]", "c"}], "]"}]],
"Output"]
and
In[2]:
MakeExpression[RowBox[List["a","\:2219","b","\:2219","c"]],StandardForm]
Out[2]:
Cell[BoxData[
RowBox[{"HoldComplete", "[",
RowBox[{"a", " ", "Ã¢Â?Â?", " ", "b", " ", "Ã¢Â?Â?", " ", "c"}], "]"}]],
"Output"]
We see that " " is aditionally entered in last calculation output. This
means that content of the boxes is interpreted as Times[a,b,c], which is
not what I want.
The difference of \:2219 (a variant of unicode center dot) and
\[CenterDot] is that the first symbol mathematica knows as "Letter" and
the second as Infix operator without meaning.
How can I achieve, that \:2219 behaved in the same way as
\[CenterDot]?
Sincerely, Arturas Acus
